KETO FRIED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Place chicken tenders (3 Lbs) in a large resealable baggie.
• Pour pickle juice over the top. Make sure there's enough to cover the chicken.
• Place chicken in the fridge and allow it to marinate overnight.
• Rinse chicken before coating it...
• Preheat oven to 400 F and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Place pork rinds (4 Ounces) in a resealable bag and crush into a panko sized grain. Be sure to leave a few large pieces.
• Add thyme (2 teaspoon), salt (1 teaspoon), black pepper (1 teaspoon), oregano (1 teaspoon), garlic powder (1 teaspoon), and smoked paprika (1 teaspoon) to the bag and shake a few times to combine.
• Pour the pork rind combo in an even layer on a flat plate.
• Beat eggs (2) in a wide-mouthed bowl.
• Dip chicken into the eggs, then into the pork rind combo - make sure to evenly coat all sides. Place chicken onto the prepared baking sheet.
• Once all chicken tenders are evenly coated, bake in the oven 24 minutes, until chicken is cooked all the way through and has reached an internal temp of 165 F.
• Allow chicken to cool and serve with your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy!

LOW CARB SOUTHERN FRIED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Place a heavy pot over medium-high heat with at least 1-inch of vegetable oil for boneless chicken and 2 inches for whole pieces. Heat oil to 350 degrees F; it is important to monitor and maintain the temperature, or the soy flour breading and your oil will burn. (Portable deep fryers at home are great for this.)
• In a medium bowl, mix the eggs and cream to make an egg wash. In a separate larger bowl, mix all the breading ingredients together.
• Season the chicken well with salt and pepper. Dip it first in the breading, then in the egg wash, and then back in the breading again, making sure to coat well on all sides. Pat off any excess breading and then carefully place into hot oil and fry until golden brown and crisp, just a few minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.
• Boneless chicken breasts, if thinly cut, may cook all the way by frying alone, but whole chicken will not because of how fast soy flour browns. It is best to place any chicken you fry with soy flour on a sheet pan and finish by baking at 350 degrees F for an additional 10 minutes for boneless chicken and 20 to 25 minutes more for cut up chicken pieces that have bones. The internal temperature of the chicken should register 165 degrees F. Serve immediately.

LOW CARB FRIED CHICKEN

Steps:

• In a food processor or blender, process French fried onions on high for about 30 seconds or until finely ground. The moisture in them may make the mixture feel like a paste, but so long as it retains some texture it will work. Pour Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper into French fried onion mixture and stir to combine thoroughly.
• Fill a large pot, Dutch oven or deep fryer about halfway full with oil (I use Canola, which is healthier and doesn't affect flavor). Turn to medium high heat and let heat until the surface shimmers. Test heat by dropping a pinch of the French fried onion mixture (or flour) into oil; if it begins to cook instantly, the oil is ready.
• Place three plates or large bowls side-by-side near the pot of heated oil. Place chicken breasts on first plate, pour beaten eggs onto second plate, and place French fried onion mixture onto third plate. Dip chicken breast, one at a time, into egg, coating each side, then do the same in the French fried onion mixture. The amount of chicken to cook at a time depends on the size of your pot or fryer, but do not overcrowd. Cook for about 1 minute or until the coating on the chicken is dark brown. Continue until all chicken is fried. Place finished chicken breasts on a plate with a paper towel or two on it to absorb excess grease. Enjoy!
